Organized in Nov. 1975, RMP began with six paramedics and two squad units (trucks) rotating in 24-hour shifts, "We're down to three men now," said Watts, "the others were married and couldn't go without pay any longer." The paramedics haven't been paid for nine months, he said. "Why do we stay? Because we're from this area, we like this area, and there is a definite need for our services," says Watts. In examining the need for paramedics services in our community, one may consider the other organizations in the community and their attitudes towards RMP. RMP responds to not only the private citizen, but receives calls from police, ambulance services, and the fire departments, when their services are needed. "The relationship with the other civic organizations in the area and RMP is good," said Watts, "the team work is good."
